SAN ANGELO STOCK SHOW & RODEO: Stock show results, 2/24

SAN ANGELO, Texas - Lelton Wayne Morse of the Navarro FFA thought he had a good chance at the Junior Market Lamb show Tuesday during the San Angelo Stock Show. The day his medium wool lamb was born he knew it was going to be a good show animal. His instincts proved him right as he took home the grand champion banner.

"I have such a range of emotions," Morse said after the show. "I just thank God for everything I've got."

Morse, 17, is a junior at Navarro High School.

Exhibiting the reserve grand champion was Ross Hargrove, 17, of the Stephenville FFA.

The Junior Wether Goat show began at 8 a.m. Tuesday, but Davis Hutto of the Schleicher County 4-H had to wait for almost nine hours before he got to show his heavyweight goat. An hour later, he competed again against winners from the other classes. The wait was worth it, as he was handed the grand champion banner by judge Marvin Ensor.

"I can't believe I won it," said Hutto, a seventh-grader at Eldorado Junior High School. "It's my first big win."

Taking the reserve grand champion honors was Jim Bean of the Hudspeth County 4-H.
